Introduction: One of Phenix's big introductions for 2019 was their new look and feel Maxim series rods. This is their ~$100 series bass rods built for exceptional value. Our first and only look at a Maxim stick was back in 2015 with their Search for One candidate, the MAX-73MH. Somehow, we never took a look at the spinning rod options in this series, but we're correcting that today with our look at the totally revamped MAXS-610L.
